What You Can Do to Help

Every mountain biker has the power to help shape the future of our sport. Here are a few easy things you can do to help.

Join IMBA

You belong with IMBA! Join us today and help support effective grassroots efforts to improve mountain biking aound the globe and in your backyard.

Join Your Local Club

The work of local and regional mountain bike clubs is essential in keeping trails open for mountain biking. Most clubs organize regular rides, trailwork sessions and social events. By joining your local club, you'll support grassroots mountain bike advocacy, meet other mountain bikers, and learn about great trails to ride that are close to home.

Make a Donation

Your donation helps support IMBA and its commitment to mountain biking. The most popular is a cash donation. However, there are many federal tax incentives specifically intended to encourage charitable contributions.

Ride Responsibly

It's all about respect — respect for the land and the experiences of other trail users. Stay on the trail and pass other trail users carefully. Follow IMBA's simple Rules of the Trail.

Stay Informed

IMBA posts frequent news and action alerts on our site that provide action steps for individuals who want to get involved. To stay connected with the key issues affecting mountain biking, keep your contact information up to date and visit our website regularly.

Volunteer for Trailwork

Trailwork is sweat equity. Land managers and government agencies appreciate reliable, competent volunteers. In the last five years, IMBA members have volunteered nearly one million hours of their time to build new trails and improve existing paths. Trailwork is fun, rewarding, a great workout and it helps assure continuing trail access for our sport.
